More than 50 trees, that were uprooted from Mahakali Caves Road and Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road to make way for Metro line 6, have been transplanted under the Metro line at Lokhandwala, Andheri.
This has, however, left the locals concerned as they claimed the MMRDA has done a shoddy job with the transplantation and the trees, which include big ones such as banyan, stand a risk of falling down. An NGO also alleged that some of these trees have already died as the place does not have enough sunlight or room for the roots to grow.
